Meaning & origin
Although Angeliki has never ranked among the top 1,000 names in the United States, it has a steady if modest presence, first recorded in 1963. Its peak year came in 1977, when it saw its highest recorded usage. The name's trajectory has been stable, neither spiking nor plummeting in the decades since. Angeliki remains a distinctly Greek name, rarely given outside of families with Greek heritage, and is not concentrated in any particular state according to available data. Its enduring appeal lies in its melodic sound and clear connection to the beloved concept of angels.
Angeliki is the modern Greek form of the ancient Greek name Angelikē, derived from angelos meaning 'messenger.' In Christian tradition, the word came to refer to celestial beings, so the name carries connotations of angelic or divine messenger. It has been used in Greece since the Byzantine era and remains a traditional choice.
